"Okay, doctors say that they can now diagnose the disease in its early stage, before it can be spread," Galadriel had just got back from a virtual conference.

Kat nodded, "Test me."

Galadriel gave Kat a strange look.

"You said earlier they know it's something cross between Scarlet fever and Fijian."

"But Fijian was severely altered and had added characteristics they couldn't classify, why test you?"

"I had Scarlet fever earlier this year and you said Yumi had some flu like thing."

Galadriel nodded, "I'm not stupid, I know where this is going, you think you have it and want doctors able to analyze it in it's earliest stages, well I'm—"

"It's my decision!" Kat screamed, "Sitting here just waiting to die isn't the best course of action either! What's your plan, huh, you folks seem to not have one and I see how wonderfully that is working out!"

"I was going to say that I'm completely agreeing but you interrupted, anyways, everyone's getting tested, starting with this room."

"If one of us have it then the nurses have spread it to the other rooms," Jeremie said.

"Only if it's airborne," replied Galadriel, "And that's impossible."

"Why rule it out, can explain why people got it so quickly," Ulrich said.

"It started at the hospital and only in people who came in contact with Kat," Galadriel looked at Kat as everyone else did.

"Why me?"

"Because, Joy, you remember her? The nurse that nearly ran you over?"

Kat nodded.

"You scraped your knee when you fell and she bandaged the wound," Galadriel said, "Then Pete, how'd he come into contact with you?"

"He took a blood sample at the hospital while I was visiting because I mentioned that I had gotten Scarlet fever and a flu at the same time."

"What happened to the sample?"

Kat hung her head, "The cap popped off and spilled it all over his hand," A tear ran down Kat's face, "Why didn't you isolate me earlier?"

"I figured it out at the video conference when they told me who was infected." Galadriel gave Kat a weak smile, "But you've shown no symptoms."

Kat's face was wet and red, "It's cause I fought off half of it before."

Odd sat in his chair, blinking, "That's amazing, how come it's still isolated?"

"Well those are the only two who have died, they first contracted it and as you know their doctors," Galadriel explained. Kat backed into the corner and slid down the wall onto the floor, resting her head on her knees.

"Die?" She mutered, "I killed those people? They're dead, because of me?" Her small body shook with each sob.

"Kat, it's not your fault," Galadriel walked over, "You didn't ask to play host to the virus," Galadriel reached over to tilt Kat's chin up, Kat pushed her away.

"I don't want to add your death to my conscious too," Kat protested.

"I can't get it from you unless I handle your blood," she said, brushing hair from Kat's face, "Don't get upset and don't blame yourself, you didn't infect yourself with it."

Kat was going to stop crying when she remembered.

Note: Well I'm off to a concert so hope you enjoyed.
